Ken Nordine - Colors (1966)

so the other night i was listening to a compilation i have called "RE/SEARCH: Incredibly Strange Music, Volume II" and i noticed this weird (duh!) track called "Green"....after a few seconds of research i find out that this guy Ken Nordine did and entire album of 90 seconds songs talking about 34 different colors with this weird kind of beatnik jazz playing behind him....i also came to realize that this guy single handedly created a genre called "Word Jazz" and released several quirky albums.....all of which have been remastered and are available on itunes

....so far this album is beyond a gem....and will find its way onto every compilation i make from this point on

edit....

a little example of "Word Jazz"
